The LG 77-inch C5 OLED drops to $1,999, and nothing at this screen size and price comes close on picture quality

LG 77" C5 OLED evo drops to $1,999.99 (save $1,700): AI picture processing, webOS, 4K UHD.

The LG C5 has been the OLED benchmark for a good reason, and the 77-inch version is now down to $1,999.99, a $1,700 saving off its $3,699.99 comp value. At that size and that price, this is a TV that changes what a living room looks and feels like, and the OLED evo panel underneath it delivers picture quality that no LED or Mini-LED alternative at this price can replicate.

What you’re getting

Size matters differently on an OLED than it does on a standard LED panel. Where a larger LED screen amplifies inconsistencies in backlight uniformity, a larger OLED panel simply gives you more of what makes OLED worth caring about: per-pixel contrast, true blacks, and colors that hold their accuracy across the entire screen rather than drifting toward the edges. At 77 inches, that difference between OLED and everything else becomes considerably more visible than it does at 55 or 65.

The OLED evo panel in the C5 pushes peak brightness higher than previous OLED generations, which is the improvement that matters most for a screen this size in a typical living room. Brighter highlights in HDR content look more convincing, and the screen holds up in rooms that get afternoon sunlight in a way that earlier OLED panels didn’t always manage.

LG’s AI picture processing works scene by scene rather than applying a fixed picture profile, and on a 77-inch screen the difference between well-optimized and poorly-optimized images is immediately apparent. WebOS handles the smart platform duties cleanly, and the C5 supports 4K at 120Hz with VRR and ALLM, covering current-generation console gaming as well as it covers cinema.

Why it’s worth it

A $1,700 saving on any TV is significant. On a 77-inch LG OLED, it represents a price point that makes this genuinely accessible in a way that a screen of this caliber hasn’t been before. Comparable 77-inch OLED options from Sony sit notably higher even at sale pricing, and the LG C5’s OLED panel keeps it competitive with anything in the category at any price.

The bottom line

The LG 77-inch C5 OLED at $1,999.99 is the large-screen TV purchase that’s hard to talk yourself out of at this price. The OLED evo panel, AI picture optimization, and gaming-ready spec add up to a viewing experience that justifies every cent, and the $1,700 saving makes this the right moment to commit to the screen size a room like this deserves.

Your next song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.
